Plainville 67676
Weekend of May 22 - May 24, 2026
WEEKEND SNAPSHOT
Sunny and breezy with highs in the mid-80s; low humidity makes for crisp evenings in the 50s.
A county-wide burn ban (Resolution 2026-R8) is currently in effect, prohibiting all open outdoor burning.
⚡ If You Only Do One Thing
Memorial Weekend at Webster State Park
Sunrise to Sunset
"While other parks are overcrowded, the Rock Point area at Webster offers prime shoreline fishing and clear water for kayaking without the 'parking lot' feel of city reservoirs."
PRO TIP: Entry requires a vehicle permit; buy yours online at the KDWP site to avoid the long line at the self-pay station or the office on 10 Road.
